CEVA Logistics inaugurated a 14,000-square-meter warehouse in Taguig City.
The Ruhale warehouse has a full suite of warehousing and logistics services for customers across a range of industries, including electronics and food & beverage, the CEVA said in a statement.
Diageo, one of the world’s largest alcoholic beverage producers, is one of the warehouse’s first clients. CEVA will manage full distribution center operations for Diageo’s range of products, including a temperature-controlled section for domestic distribution throughout the Philippines.

The facility features ambient, temperature-controlled and dangerous goods storage, 13 loading bays, floor staging and an optimized shelving configuration that can accommodate up to 16,000 pallet positions.
Currently employing around 50 people, the warehouse offers customers a full range of warehousing, distribution and value-added services, including picking and packing, labelling, bundling, re-work, tax stamping and digital bottle printing.
The CEVA team can also manage return and reverse logistics and integrated B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) omni-channel operations.
CEVA said the site was chosen based on its proximity to Manila’s city center, as well as easy access to major transportation hubs, including Manila’s international and domestic airports and seaports, and to major highways for ground transport options.
In addition to meeting expected regional capacity needs, the Ruhale warehouse was built with an eye on the future in terms of adopting warehouse innovations, Ceva said.
Employing state-of-art technology to improve both employee health and safety and risk management, the warehouse incorporates best practices in waste management and energy conservation to mitigate the facility’s carbon footprint and environmental impact.
To optimize productivity, digital lean dashboards have been implemented. Planned future enhancements include the use of wearable device scanners, drones for stock-taking and cleaning robots for facility maintenance.
Elaine Low, CEVA Logistics managing director of Southeast Asia and Pacific, said, she is confident the investment “will be the start of many more successful ventures as we continue to support customers’ supply chains with responsive logistics solutions.”
